DA GOODIES
SPICED CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
¾ cup ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground allspice
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp ground cloves
1 cup applesauce
Mix dry ingredients together. Add applesauce and mix well. Roll on waxed paper to ½” thickness and sprinkle with cinnamon to keep from sticking. Cut into Christmas shapes. Let decorations air dry for 4 or 5 days, turning once a day. Ornaments can be painted or decorated when dry. Store in a plastic bag each year. When the scent evaporates, add a drop or 2 of cinnamon oil to the back. These ornaments are wonderful tree decorations or gifts.

8 oz Pillsbury crescent dinner roll
⅓ cup cranberry-finely chopped
2 tbsp cracker crumbs
1 tsp grated orange peel
1 tsp ginger
Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Combine remaining ingredients; spread evenly over each triangle. Roll, place and bake crescents as directed on package label.
FUN FACTS
McDonald’s once made bubblegum-flavored broccoli.
The original oranges from Southeast Asia were a tangerine-pomelo hybrid, and they were actually green. In fact, oranges in warmer regions like Vietnam and Thailand still stay green through maturity.
Octopuses lay 56,000 eggs at a time.
Kleenex tissues were originally intended for gas masks.When there was a cotton shortage during World War I, Kimberly-Clark developed a thin, flat cotton substitute that the army tried to use as a filter in gas masks. The war ended before scientists perfected the material for gas masks, so the company redeveloped it to be smoother and softer, then marketed Kleenex as facial tissue instead.
That tiny pocket in jeans was designed to store pocket watches.
Enjoy the Holiday Season. Be safe everyone.

- Canada is well prepared for the arrival of aliens and in 1967, built a UFO landing pad in St Paul, Alberta.
- There are more donut shops per capita in Canada than any other country in the world. But who’s saying that’s a bad thing?
